What is a "reservoir tank"?
A reservoir tank is a container used in vehicles to hold fluids, such as coolant, windshield washer fluid, or brake fluid. It acts as a storage space for extra fluid that the vehicle may need during operation. The reservoir tank ensures that the vehicle has a steady supply of these fluids to maintain its systems, like the engine’s cooling system or the braking system, without running low. It is typically located under the hood and has a cap that can be removed for checking or adding more fluid as needed.
Example
The coolant reservoir tank helps regulate engine temperature by expanding and contracting with heat cycles.
The brake fluid reservoir tank ensures proper braking function by storing hydraulic fluid for the braking system.
